Freakin awesome DIY site

I just ordered a bunch of patches from this site. I really like the things they say...check it out!

Why I am a vegetarian

People are constantly asking me why I choose no not consume meat. I have a handful of reasons. I don't want to subscribe to animal cruelty, killing the environment, getting someone else to do the killing for me, being unhealthy, or just eating food that I don't enjoy. Something makes me feel so much better about having good diet. This also includes not ingesting harmful chemicals that most processed food contains, such as PHO's, MSG, High Fructose Corn Syrup, dyes, and artificial sweetners. I am still researching to find the best evidence that these things are harmful. I don't want to just throw websites at you, but if you are really curious do the research yourself!

First post-reason for blog

So I was reading the New York Times today and read this article. This man spoke out about having the Olympics in Beijing. He understands that they have the money to fund such a huge event, so they should have the money to fund human rights organizations. The Chinese government is censoring the people's freedom to share information. I have the freedom to share, so I am getting the word out about the corruption of the government in China. I was shocked, although I know worse things go on everyday. I just hate to see that people are trying so hard to make change in the world and are rewarded by being stalked of arrested. Watch this video about what they did to him before they arrested him. I am a dissident. I do not agree with most of the things this government stands for. Go ahead and commence the hunt. I am ready for it. I feel like there are so many people out there doing so much more than me, who don't have the freedom that I do. It is time for this generation to rise up and say something about what is going on in the world. What ever it is that is bothering you...do something about it. If there is nothing you can think of, just watch the film Zeitgeist! It will change your life! If not that watch The Corporation.

New Blog

I am expanding my horizon and taking my education to a new venue. I love to post stuff and share info, but I never really do it like I should. I am sure no one will ever really read this unless they want to know me, so this is more to remind myself of information I don't want to forget. Feel free to educate yourself on this site as much as possible. I hope to update at least once a day!
